This was a project that I built to explore if we could build a cheaper elastic search alternative using a FaaS service model. I didn't use a DB. Just S3, Lambda and API Gateway. I even did a performance analysis for latency times. It was a fun experiment, just deploy from the Serverless Repo and everything will work out of the box.

But I don't understand, why are the run times so incredibly high? 15 seconds to looks through 18k records? Should be <10ms (ignoring network latency), or what am I missing?
